I don't think they'll be able to fix her this time.
Sadly, I doubt Navy Wings will be able to raise the funds that would be required to fix it.As said, they only got it back from North Weald on Friday last week
But, sadly I think the days of any airworthy Centaurus powered aircraft are now very numbered.
Navy Wings statement:
Sea Fury T.20
"Navy Wings’ Sea Fury T.20 made a precautionary forced landing in a field next to RNAS Yeovilton following a problem with the engine on a routine training flight this afternoon. Both pilots are safe and well and have been taken to Yeovil district Hospital for a precautionary check-up. The cause is under investigation and both the CAA and Air Accident Investigation Branch have been informed. No further information is available at this time."

I know the phrase "any landing you can walk away from is a good one" applies here, but upside down in a field doesn't quite sound like a "precautionary" forced landing but more like a crash.
I assume it was "precautionary" because the engine was still running, but in the process of dismantling itself.. So you could keep going until it quits or start the ball rolling with at least a little power to play with.Gassing Station | Boats, Planes & Trains | Top of Page | What's New | My Stuff
